2025-10-18
Being sick can be downright terrifying. But what if, for one night, seriously ill kids could just be kids?
What if they could enter a fantasy world full of sweet surprises and make-believe? A night where anything is possible. Where imagination takes flight and kids feel a good kind of fright.
Starlight Canada’s Trick or Suite is a Halloween event and family getaway rolled into one. This event is designed exclusively for Starlight children to trick or treat indoors at a local hotel and then enjoy a night – not in hospital but in a hotel suite with their families. Talk about a great escape!
